* anyone can come over and use the base's equipment by themselves in an easy way* groups of people can coordinate to self-organize subseasons, following this protocol* this needs to be easy, fun, predictable, and reliable for anybody to initiate

History (2011-2014) CHT was a house, operating all year long. 🔗hackbase-type1(R/W) base. Anybody could come at any time, and it was easy to get going.

NOW (2014-...) ! * The project abandoned the house, developing a new model - 🔗hackbase-type2(R/W). Planning to buy rural land to settle on, as sketched on 🔗season4(R/W). To do this, we are in a transition period to experiment, define what we are looking for, and find the right plot. In this time, the hackbase means temporary camping on other people's lands.

* When the base is not set up, we have to coordinate on when to come there together again.

* Anybody can still come at any time, but it's a bit more complicated to set up a camp if nobody is there, than to just come to the house.

Centralised on a single person: Interested people send emails to info@totalism.org currently read by David (david@totalism.org). I intercept, answer questions and inform the interested in "when next camp might happen". I sync my own schedule to where there might be other people coming & announce a subseason. I contact the people that expressed interest earlier and try to get a few of them to come.

That's bad because one person must: * to inform everybody, answer questions, etc * to synchronize everybody and decide when a new subseason happens and announces it * to actually be the first person there and know how to handle everything * to be there even if nobody else comes

People always asked "when I'm there" and relied on that. This must now be replaced by self-organised action.

Pre-organisation: * Start position: there is nobody at the base * All the 🔗stuff(R/W) is packed in base storage * People coordinate on the mailing list (🔗list(R/W) / list@totalism.org) until they decide to set dates, or somebody takes initiative and goes there * All the information and plans is edited by anyone at next.totalism.org, which points to the current open planning pad * Do scheduling via 🔗schedule_(R/W) * Everyone involved is clear with 🔗newcomers(R/W)

Setting a date + season start: * Somebody ("First mover") takes initiative and decides to buy a flight: * gets approved on the mailing list to access 🔗stuff(R/W) and 🔗trucko(R/W) van if needed * coordinates with people on the island to pick up the things * may get mandate to spend some donation € reserves, following 🔗season4(R/W) development goals

* The base has no own or set campground location: The person starting the camp decides where to set camp, using 🔗landsites(R/W).

* This also involves a logistical element of moving everything for camp. We have friends who could help with driving. Using buses is also possible.

* How to find / identify the campsite?: if the campsite is already existing, coordinate with people there via geolocation, and use 🔗maps(R/W)! if not, it's up to you where to put it.

* How to transport things between storage and campsite?: we now have a van, see 🔗trucko(R/W). before we borrowed cars or asked friends to do it, from CHT🔗CHT-contacts(R/W).

* What items have priority, in case of limited transport capability? (Probably basic camping stuff like tents and sleeping bags, water): Yes. Things are organised in a way that should make sense. Currently working on more markings system. <----- #TODO #newcomers #flocking

* Maybe there are non-obvious things to set up, that should be documented somewhere here?: Maybe - this is a best effort.

END: Camp teardown: * Announce in advance what's happening on the mailing list. * Pack stuff back to storage: * proper weather protection and camouflage precautions ! * Write a report and take pictures of the packed-up camp. * Finish a report about the subseason on the subseason pad.
